I don't know. I'm still corresponding with one person from that eHarmony online dating thing, even though I've cancelled the account. eHarmony says we're a good fit, but I don't know if I'm ready to date a teacher who uses "u" for "you", "LOL" and generally writes as if she were IMing. You kids and your damn emails and interwebs!
It's a prejudice, I know, but even knowing that it's hard to overcome my gut reaction that this is a fifteen-year-old pretending to be in her late thirties, and not an actual school teacher in her late thirties.

i am reasonably smart yet cant type or spell.
although i must admit i too would be suspect of someone who uses LOL too often and not ironically.
I know, I know. I blame my upbringing: my mother was a proof-reader, my father was a printer. Other people's families had Religion, we had English.
I wrote her again, btw, so I'm not letting myself be ruled by my prejudices.
